Re: Frustrated and jealous! rock sculpting help!
Great thread! I've found that Slash1 is a good way to start a gap between rock formations on very basic shapes, but it's automatically masking it for me, rendering me unable take it further and give it a nice bevel and continue. I tried removing all the masks but it didn't work. Anyone have a solution? :poly132: Edit: I… -
Re: [Portfolio] feedback welcome.
I think it looks good! I don't know if the hover text for the BF4 models are new or if I just missed them the last time around, but I think they're a good addition. However IMO the text still needs to be faster and more obvious as it takes too long to hover over each and every image to see what you've actually done. Also… -
Re: Nick's Substance Materials
Post images of each material on a Large plane. Its hard to judge something on base primitives. Pump up the height map (or put one on) will make your materials look better overall. (Normal to height converter, add a new output and set that to height.) Asphalt: Hard to judge at the moment, looks more like a concrete or odd… -
Re: Making textures with Zbrush
First, thanks everyone for your critiques, tips and advise.

Re: My first prop - Japanese Bridge.
Not a bad start, engines do support sizes that arent square but are a power of 2 however in this situaion I think you should use a 1024x1024. the way this wood is going to be used it could do with the verticle variation so it doesnt look like its repeated. Also the current texture has too many artifacts, these are bits of… -
Re: [WIP] Abandoned Shack Environment
Thanks! I'm currently not using any post processing on this scene but I think a quick visit to Photoshop can fix the lighting issues. Also the only light source in the scene is the HDRI background. According to the position of the sun I would guess it's late afternoon in the day. I also used Blender's Simplify feature to… -
Re: Tron Inspired Environment WIP
Hey Shadowliger, great job on the silhouettes for both pieces, looks like you got both shapes down. The textures seem a little basic at the minute, a little variation would go a long way with both pieces. With the bike, I can see two sections which end in a point where they actually end in a curve on the actual bike. I'm… -

Re: "The City of New Orleans Is Devastated"
[ QUOTE ] A quick question...why do people in hurricane/earthquake risk areas build their houses out of wood? Watching the news here in England, it appeared that most of the buildings that were damaged/destroyed were wooden structures, and pretty much all the ones that survived were brick...surely if you build brick… -
The realistic skin, muscle, and gore systems in the upcoming game "ILL" - How is it optimized?
Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to discuss a highly technical topic today. It's about the incredibly realistic animations in the upcoming game ILL. I don’t know how many of you have seen the trailer recently, but the way the creatures look like they have actual fleshy skin and their natural posing really caught my eye.…
